By Marlena Ballinger Managing Editor PUTNAM COUNTY — The Putnam County Commissioners are expected to approve a proposal given to them by HCF Management, Incorporated. The proposal, which contains two contracts, will name an interim administrator and evaluate the performance and profitability of Putnam Acres Care Center. Commissioners contacted HCF Management after abruptly dismissing the former administrator of the facility, Abel Quintero on May 2. HCF Management Incorporated is proposing to name Noreen Schwieterman, LNHA as the administrator who will provide the state minimum of 16 hours

of coverage at the facility. The company has not yet determined a pay rate for the administrator. In the second contract, the company is proposing to evaluate the overall operations at Putnam Acres for 60 to 90 days. The company proposed to the commissioners that they would like to look at the financial state, compliance status, employee policies and procedures and staffing patterns. The company also proposed to review the facility and its technology. HCF Management will also provide potential candidates for a permanent administrator. Commissioners said on Tuesday that they plan to make a decision on the ➤➤See Putnam/A9

Ottawa explores new ways to treat water By Marlena Ballinger Managing Editor OTTAWA — The village of Ottawa’s water director, Jason Phillips presented a preliminary proposal that will allow for the treating of TTHM’s in Ottawa’s water system. In July, Ottawa took over the waterline that ran to Miller City after the EPA announced they would grant an extension pertaining to compliance issues if the village took over the line. Now that Ottawa has control of the Putnam north waterline, it has taken a look at its water treatment system to try to combat the levels of trihalomethanes (TTHM) in the water. Although the levels in the water going to Miller City are small, the EPA feels they should be lower. Phillips gave a proposal to village council on Monday night during the regularly scheduled meeting. He stressed that the proposed

plan was very preliminary and will probably undergo some changes. If the plan comes to fruition, the village of Ottawa must do some modifications to their current water plant to rid the water of TTHMs. Some of the proposed changes include granule activated carbon caps on water filters, granule activated carbon reactors, ion exchanges and post filtration ion exchanges. The village is looking at lowering the water age by adding some aeration systems in both the water towers and in clear wells. The village looked at many different disinfectant systems such as chlorination, UV disinfection and chlorine dioxide with the preferred method being the UV disinfection. According to Phillips, if the village decides to utilize a UV disinfection system ➤➤See Ottawa/A9

Local nurse organizes sale to benefit children with disabilities By Cortney Mumaugh Sentinel Correspondent OTTAWA — Mom-toMom sales have become more popular locally. A Mom-to-Mom sale is a condensed garage sale of maternity, baby and children’s clothing and items. Instead of shopping around community sales you can find everything you need for your little one in one convenient place. The Mom-to-Mom sale this Saturday is a little out of the ordinary. Sara Fuerst and her husband, Brian, and their four children: Terrel-14, Chase-7, Carter-2 and Tegan-3 months are organizing this event. All proceeds from this sale will be going to the families of Kate Benroth and Danika Deitering. Kate has been diagnosed with Batten Disease and little Danika has SMA, Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Fuerst graduated from

nursing school in 2002 and has been caring for children with disabilities for the last five years as a self-employed home health nurse. “Several years ago, I started caring for a young man in his home who was in a motor vehicle accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury, TBI. His name is Nicholas Welker. He was 14 years old at the time of the accident which is the current age of my oldest son. Over the past few years, I have become very close with the Welker family. I have seen first hand some of the trials that the family endures just to fulfill Nick’s daily living needs. I often find myself thinking about my own son and just how you can not take any moment for granted. But with that said, Nick has brought so much joy to the lives of many people. He can not talk and was paralyzed but

Leipsic addresses nuisance properties By Monica Gerdeman Staff Writer LEIPSIC — Leipsic Village Council met once again this past Monday night to discuss the happenings around the area. Council addressed a nuisance property after a building representative for 323 W. Main St. was unable to attend the meeting. It was agreed upon that a certified letter would be sent to all parties involved and that the building had 30 days left to stand. A village resident attended the meeting to present a 5K run to happen on July 21. The original date was set for October-fest, but because of recent events in Ottawa, they asked for the run to be moved to an earlier date. The run will be titled “5K for Kory” and will be dedicated to students doing positive things. The event

is to raise awareness for suicide prevention and antibullying in local schools. Patrick Products Inc. and Patrick Hold Inc. asked for permission to expand their production and warehouse on Main St. As the first reading was read, member Mark Schey elected to suspend the rules and have the second and third readings of the amendment. The expansion was approved and the council marched on. The expansion will benefit the village and its residents by creating jobs, increasing the property tax base, enhancing income tax revenues and stimulating collateral development in the village. Another topic on the council’s agenda was Poet’s community reinvestment. The village of Leipsic received a Community Reinvestment Area Applica-

tration forms for any prizes not caught and everything is given away. “No matter how you look at it, everything we have is gone.” In order to be ready for the derby each year, they start planning in November. A big part of his task is contacting sponsors. He said that they have over 130 sponsors from all over the area that support them every year. “We get a lot of items donated to help us. C & G Distributing and Northwest Ohio Beverage are huge sponsors,” he shared. In addition, the Double D Ranch sponsors an all expense paid wild boar hunt for a child who registers. Columbus

Grove taxidermist, Brad King, sponsors his taxidermy services free for the boar the winner hunts. “A kid gets to go hunting, taxidermy work, and they don’t have a dime in it. We pay for the fuel and we buy the food; they just go and have fun,” he informed. “Without the sponsors, we wouldn’t be here.” Gilgenbach shared that he works just as hard after the event writing thank you letters and making phone calls to thank the sponsors. He stated how grateful he is for everything they do to help this event be a success each year.

source of income to support it. They came up with an idea that would satisfy both needs. “We said, ‘Let’s do a derby’ and here we are,” he explained. The first year they held the fishing derby, they weren’t sure how successful it would be. They started by gathering area sponsors who were extremely generous and they ended up with over $9,000 worth of products that first year. Since they end up with so much to give away, they now have drawings for anyone who registers, whether they fish or not. After the derby, everyone gathers in the Legion and they start drawing regis-

PUTNAM COUNTY — The Putnam County Board of Developmental Disabilities held their May board meeting on May 9 at Brookhill Center. Residents are scheduled to move in to the new home in Leipsic on or near June 1. An open house is unlikely to occur due to timing of the completion of the home and the move in time for the residents. Although the board wished to review the plans for the Simplex Fire System upgrade prior to upgrading the fire alarm system, due to price discounts (incentives), approval was granted

No, my Mom is not London No, Mom did not go to London this week and no, she does not need money so she can return home. As a matter of fact, her email account was hacked over the weekend. On Monday, I received an email from Mom that said she had taken an “impromptu” trip to London, lost her wallet and passport and needed $1,850 for a return ticket home. I immediately knew that her email had been hacked into. My first clue was that I received two to three of these types of emails at work weekly. My second clue was that I received the exact same email to all of my email accounts. My next clue was the fact that if Mom had to take an “impromptu” trip to London, I’m sure she would have at least called me on her way to airport and hopefully invited me along.

Yahoo (or I’ve gotten them from eBay) to ensure that the web address has yahoo. com somewhere in the first part of the address. Anyone who can program a website can create a duplicate site that looks similar to Yahoo or eBay and can trick you into giving them important information. It is impossible to place a fake webpage on yahoo.com so be sure to check the address bar before handing over any information to anyone. Typically, any legitimate company will not solicit passwords or any other important information such as credit card or social security numbers through an email. Even if you think the email is from a legitimate person, give that person a call before sending them money because it’s always better to be safe than sorry!

Remember When 21 May 1937 Rudolph Heringhaus, 94, highly esteemed citizen of Ottawa passed away Monday. He was born 14 March 1843 in Osnabruck, Hanover, Germany. He came to the United States in 1866, first stopping in Cincinnati, where he married Christina Rechtering in 1867. They had six children. They moved to Greensburg Township in 1871, and to Ottawa three years later. Heringhaus was a cabinet maker and later the janitor at SPPS and caretaker for the cemetery. His wife died in 1916. Two daughters also preceded him in death. He is survived by children: Mrs. Andrew Roof, B. H. Heringhaus, Mrs. Catherine Laibe and Henry Heringhaus. Fourteen seniors will soon be graduating at Crawfis College. 1,200 privies have been constructed, sold and erected in Putnam County during the past several years by the WPA. The local sales price is $29.73, ready for painting. Charles Seitz, Leipsic, lineman for the General Utilities Co. was killed Saturday when he came in contact with a 6,900 volt high tension line, while working

near Columbus Grove. The Sts. Peter and Paul High School scholarship team placed first in the State, in the small school division. The Cloverdale Garden Club is planning a three act comedy. Cast of Characters includes: Mrs. Ray Campbell, Mrs. Bertha Henry, Mrs. Leonard Martin, Mrs. J. C. Martin, Mrs. Robert Snider, Mrs. Rolly Keller, Mrs. Al Persinger, Mrs. Leon Fout and Mrs. David Holt. 25 May 1962 Many new weather records were set during this month of May. The temperature soared to the 90’s for six out of seven days. The temp was 92 on Monday and Wednesday, 90 on Tuesday, 96 on Thursday and Friday. They had a cool down (86 degrees) on Saturday, then back to 92 on Sunday. Richard Bell, of Leipsic, began collecting cars when he purchased a 1916 Dort truck near Danville, Ohio. This began a saga of an interesting antique vehicle, which will be driven in the Independence Day Parade in Ottawa, sponsored by the American Legion on July 1. The parade will feature nearly 100 antique cars.

Mary Lou Knueven graduated from the Leipsic High School, having achieved a perfect attendance record for 12 years. She spent the first eight years at the St. Mary’s Parish School in Leipsic, then two years at the Notre Dame Academy in Toledo, and completing her Junior and Senior years at Leipsic High School. Carolyn Van Housen, a junior at Ottawa High School was the winner in three counties – Paulding, Putnam and Van Wert, in an essay contest. “Why I Want to Be a Teacher”. S. M. Dotterer retired, following 50 years as an optometrist in Leipsic. The old Kalida Town Hall is coming down to make way for a new building, which will house the fire department and town offices. 27 May 1986 Congressman Delbert Latta will speak at the Memorial Day ceremonies in Continental and Cloverdale. Ottoville captured the PCL baseball crown with league wins at 6-0 and overall wins of 15-4. The OSU, Lima Branch captured the Ohio Regional Campus baseball crown last week.

Gilboa observed Memorial Day with the tradition of throwing a wreath from the Gilboa Bridge into the Blanchard River. This tradition began in the 1920’s to honor Clyde Harter and Charles Williams, who died en route to Europe in 1918, on the Ticonderoga, when it was torpedoed by a German submarine. Last Sunday the Free Christian Church of God, of Continental held the formal dedication services in their newly constructed church, located at the intersection of State Route 634 and State Route 15. Three Putnam County boys excelled at the National America Youth Horse Show in Columbus. They are Jeremy Unverferth, Jeff Sager and Craig Schmersal.

Editorials from around Ohio By The Associated Press Excerpts of recent editorials of statewide and national interest from Ohio newspapers: Akron Beacon Journal, May 10 President Obama portrayed his “evolving” view of gay marriage in a way familiar to many Americans. He pointed to his experience, relaying to Robin Roberts of ABC News what he has learned from friends and colleagues who are gay, many “in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together.” He spoke with his wife and daughters, who have friends with gay parents. The president even framed his decision to support gay marriage with his Christian faith, “you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated.” He placed the decision in an ordinary day, away from the bubbling political controversy, making the question less about an argument and more about the humanity we share. Does it matter that the president spoke out? Not in a legal or constitutional sense. The aim isn’t to push legislation through Congress. What is significant is the office he holds, elected by a majority, seeking now a second term. He might have held back, but he concluded the better way was taking a stand, mirroring how far the country has moved. ... Cultural attitudes are changing, and now the president has joined in recognizing the right thing to do. The Columbus Dispatch, May 12 A brightening spotlight on for-profit colleges could save many young Americans, including more and more military veterans, from wasting time and piling up debt without making much progress toward careers. Recent hearings in the U.S. Senate focused on concerns raised about the institutions, many of which subsist almost entirely on government-guaranteed student loans. Some appear to put about as much effort into

marketing and recruiting as they do instructing students. Those marketing efforts increasingly are targeted at veterans, because of increased tuition benefits through the revamped GI Bill. ... For-profit colleges have complained about a new order from the Department of Education, under which the department will track the post-graduation earnings of students who have attended for-profit colleges using federally guaranteed loans. If a college has a poor “gainful employment” score — if too many of its former students fail to earn enough to make progress paying off their loans — then the government will restrict student loans to that institution. For-profit colleges say such a rule should be applied to all colleges and universities that receive government-backed student loans. Fair enough. Congress should require all schools benefiting from taxpayer-backed student loans to meet adequate performance thresholds. The (Tiffin) Advertiser-Tribune, May 8 Every day that passes without implementation of reforms in Ohio’s public employee pension systems may add millions of dollars to their unfunded liabilities. Yet some legislators worry premature action could be bad, too. About $70 billion in unfunded liabilities burden the state’s five public employee retirement programs, it has been estimated. Officials of all five have been told to recommend reforms to keep the systems solvent. ... State Senate President Tom Niehaus, R-New Richmond, has said he wants his side of the legislature to approve the five plans by the end of this month. ... It is a different story on the other side of the Statehouse, however. ... (Some) representatives do not want to act on the solvency proposals immediately. They want to wait until another private study of the recommendations is completed. That should happen in July.

Members of the House of Representatives are right to want adequate information on the proposals. Implementing them would be of enormous importance to tens of thousands of public employees — and taxpayers — after all. But predicting a delay until late in the year sounds suspiciously like some in the House want to avoid the political fallout from the actions, at least until after the November election. ... If they want to wait until the new report is issued in July, fine. But it should take only a few weeks after that for lawmakers to digest the new information and vote on the plans. Ironton Tribune, May 10 Ohio continues to battle aggressively the epidemic of prescription drug abuse, but now we must enlist the help of neighboring states. Gov. John Kasich and his task force have instituted statewide guidelines for emergency rooms and acute care facilities when it comes to prescribing narcotic pain medications since a significant percentage of the drugs on our streets come from emergency room visits by individuals who are experts at playing the system. ... Although the ultimate decision about how best to provide medical care remains in the hands of physicians, these guidelines can certainly go a long ways toward curbing abuse. The guidelines include reminders on what drugs to avoid routinely prescribing, as well as points to consider when analyzing treatment options. But for this legislation to have any real impact here in Lawrence County we need Kentucky and West Virginia to get on board as well by adopting comparable guidelines. We would like to see our lawmakers and Kasich work with these leaders to make this a reality. ...

Health Department receives award from Northwest Ohio Susan G. Komen for the Cure

PUTNAM COUNTY — The Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure awarded $10,100 to the Putnam County Health Department during the Annual Power of the Promise Grants Reception Tuesday, April 17, at the McMaster Center at the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library. The health department began the Putnam County Breast Health Project in 2007 in response to the high breast cancer rates in Putnam County. Since that time, the breast cancer rates have decreased which makes Putnam County similar to the state of Ohio. Early detection is the key to survival and everyone deserves access to needed screenings for breast cancer. The Northwest Ohio Susan G. Komen for the Cure has granted Putnam County a total of $73,890 since 2007 and has provided 302 women with needed screening and diagnostic services. “We are proud to be granted these funds which enable us to help women and men that may not have otherwise been able to have screening mammograms or continue with diagnostic testing. Several women that have participated in this project have been diagnosed with breast cancer and may not have had a successful outcome if the cancer hadn’t been diagnosed in the early stages,” explained Sherri

The Putnam County Health Department received a check for $10,100 from Komen for the Cure. Accepting the award was Putnam County Director of Nursing, Sherri Recker (left).

Recker, Director of Nursing for the Putnam County Health Department. “We have been assured that none of the funds raised by the Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure have been distributed or associated with Planned Parenthood. All of the grant money is raised at the Race for the Cure held in Toledo. In fact 75 percent of the money raised at the Race is given back to community as grants. The other 25 percent supports breast cancer research to help find a cure,” says Dr. Mary Ann Myers, Health Commissioner.

The services provided by the Putnam County Breast Health Project include screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, and assistance with biopsies. Men and women can qualify for this project by having insurance with at least a $200 deductible, no insurance, 40 – 64 years old, or 3039 years old with high risk conditions, and have an income under 300 percent of the federal poverty level. To see if you qualify or for more information, please contact the Putnam County Health Department.

Teacher wins $500 in supplies for her class room By Monica Gerdeman Staff Writer OTTAWA — Last Friday, Friends Business Source awarded Jill Radler with $500 in supplies for her class room. They included: a Keurig Coffee Maker, several boxes of Keurig Coffee, and some general classroom

supplies. You may ask, why a coffee maker? Radler teaches in the intermediate autistic classroom at OttawaGlandorf High School, and her class hosts a coffee cart program. The class’ plan of action is to learn to make coffee, tea, and hot cocoa

along with a snack food to take around on a cart from classroom to classroom to serve the items to teachers. “We use things such as a coffee maker to make coffee and physically serve other teachers. I believe that this teaches daily life-skills, as well as social skills and self esteem which most of these kids need,” said Radler. Radler sent a submission to the Friends Business Source W.R.I.T.E. Program. The contest ran for teachers to ask for supplies for their classroom. Radlers submission was unique from most of the others, and her story was very humbling. “She was our outstanding submission,” said Ashley Barger, marketing representative for Friends. “We knew right away when we read Jill’s story that she was

our winner.” Radler has been with OG’s autism classroom for eight years, and started with this program with funds from a grant, which kept it going for two years. As money ran dry, she started looking for supplies at thrift stores and paid for those from small donations from other teachers and parents of her students. The rest came from her own pocket. “I feel lucky to have the opportunity to be their teacher and want to do whatever I can to help. We have used donations and items from Goodwill, but this is a huge deal for us. I am just so grateful for this, thank you. We are going to wear this out.” said Radler.

Leipsic

Local ➤➤From A1 reminded me of the Welker family. They were so nice and down to earth. I don’t know what it is about seeing a sick child smile, but Kate also has an amazing smile! I feel very lucky to be able to care for Kate. Her dad, Brock, is such an awesome father. Her mom, Ellie, is a strong woman in dealing with Kate’s horrible disease. She will tell you that she trusts in God and her faith is such an inspiration. Kate also has an older sister, Lauren. Lauren is so proud of Kate and is a big help to her Mom and Dad. Their whole family and the love they have for each other has contributed to my outlook on life and the things I do everyday with my own family.” Fuerst does not take care of little Danika Deitering or even know her or her family. “I came across a homemade video of Danika and her brother, Michael, on Facebook. The short video

instantly brought me to tears as I looked at her smile and read about her horrible diagnosis of SMA, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, that will ultimately take her life before she will see her second birthday. I had just given birth to my own daughter. Since then, I have continued to follow Danika and her family. Their love and their willingness to share so much has changed the lives of so many...including my own,” said Fuerst. The Mom-to-Mom Sale will be held at the Putnam County Fairgrounds in the Merchant Building on Saturday, May 26 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The cost of admission is $2 and everyone is invited to come and shop. There will be around 40 vendors and 150 tables that are going to be set up. Some of the vendors include: Pampered Chef, Thirty-One Gifts, Origami Owl Custom Lockets, Pink Zebra, Mark,

Paw Paws Woodshop, Lia Sophia Jewelry, Little Monkey Company, Advocare, Licensed Massage Therapists, and more! “The response from the community has also been great! It is so nice to see people come together for such a great cause,” said Fuerst. “I want to thank the Putnam County Fairgrounds for allowing the Mom-toMom sale to take place in the Merchant Building. The fairgrounds recently held their own fundraiser to help with updating the buildings and restroom facilities. It is their goal to keep the grounds updated so future events can take place in a nice community area.” Fuerst hopes to make this sale an annual sale for Putnam County. She is excited at the number of first time sellers as well as the outpouring of support from people from the area. She has also created a Face-

book page: Sara’s Sale for a Cause. This page is constantly updated with the entire list of vendors, items for sale and photos. This page will also be used in future years. “I really haven’t decided on is what exactly I would like to do with the money that is raised for the two families. I really want it to go towards something special for Danika and Kate, but also their siblings, Danika’s older brother, Michael, and Kate’s older sister, Lauren. They have all been through so much. Hopefully whatever I come up will bring some big smiles during such a hard time for their families!” If you would like to make a donation or the sale or want more information please visit Sara’s Sale for a Cause on Facebook or call or text Fuerst at 419-7961416 or email her at sstark. nurse4ohcp@gmail.com.

schools within the county who stand to gain a median income of over $73,000 in additional tax monies or an average of over $88,000 per school. Ottawa-Glandorf stood to gain the most at $188,615. Council members questioned what the county planned to do with the additional tax monies and proposed that Mayor Dean Meyer should bring the topic up at the next county mayors meeting. Village council members talked about proposing to

the county commissioners that they create an new line item for disaster mitigation for the county. In other news: • Council also heard a second reading that will amend the villages mowing ordinance. • They passed a resolution that accepted a proposal from Bockrath and Associates Engineering and Surveying for $2,500 for engineering services related to the Glenbrook Drive waterline extension project.

• Authorized Cruisin’ U Driving School to use the community room and public restroom at fire station 100 for classes. • Accepted a proposal from County Electric for $3,970 for electrical work at the Putnam County ESC. Jack Williams, municipal director, informed council that 42 streets are on the list to be paved this year. The next village council meeting is set for June 11 at 8 p.m.

Putnam ➤➤From A1 proposal by the end of this week. Employees at the facility have come forth after reading about a meeting the commissioners had with HCF Management in last week’s edition of the Putnam County Sentinel. “No matter what is happening, the care for our resident does not change,” said Janelle Westhoven, director of nursing at Putnam Acres Care Center. According to Westhoven, the employees are willing to do whatever it takes to keep the facility operational. She said that morale has increased since the dismissal of the administrator and the employees are looking forward to getting a new administrator “with fresh eyes.” “Because we are a county government based facility, we are faced with dealing with common problems more publicly. As for morale, it is much improved

with the recent changes,” said Weshoven. She also addressed the concerns over the low census at the facility and said that it is not unique to Putnam Acres. She said that medicaid funds have been increased to keep individuals in their homes instead of nursing facilities and because of this, there has been a generalized decrease in Ohio nursing home admissions. “We are proud of our emphasis on rehabilitations as a majority of our admissions do return to their own homes or a more independent environment,” said Westhoven.

After the war was over, he was discharged as a Lt. Commander, and then resumed his teaching, coaching and educational goals. After the Columbus Grove stint, Schaffer spent 20 years working with the teachers and administrators in Putnam County as the secondary supervisor to better the education of all students in the county. Schaffer was very active in the sports arena. He was an official in football and basketball where he worked high school, college and professional games. During his “officiating life,” he officiated in 15 Ohio High School State Basketball Tournaments with his last 10 years being in succession. In 1978, he was inducted into the Bluffton University Athletic Hall of Fame for his participation in football and baseball, and in 1986, Schaffer was selected posthumously into the National High School Hall of Fame as an official. Schaffer served on the Northwest District High School

Athletic Board of 11 years, and he also was a member of the National Federation Basketball Rules Advisory Committee for 15 years. As a football official, Schaffer refereed for 15 years in the Big-10 Conference and 15 years in the National Football League. After completing his officiating career, Schaffer had participated in over 2,000 basketball games and 1,000 football games in that capacity. As Schaffer was officiating and working at the ESC as the secondary supervisor, he also taught education courses for the University of Dayton to help future educators prepare to go into the classroom. He also served as the village clerk of Ottawa for a period of time in the 1960’s and 70’s. The Putnam County Educational Service Center established this award/ scholarship after his retirement and passing in 1984. The scholarship is given to a male and female student in Putnam County who best exemplify “Student-Athlete.” A committee at the Educational service center oversees the scholarship and determines the awardees each year.

Construction began in 1868 and on May 24, 1875, the statue of Our Lady of Consolation was carried in procession from the church of St. Nicholas, Frenchtown to the church in Carey. It was during this procession that the first sign of the special intercession of the Blessed Virgin for all who were to pray in this little church was revealed. As the procession marched,

Putnam County Camping Program PUTNAM COUNTY — Hey, Putnam County parents, want to send your kids to camp for a week at only $20 per camper? It’s time to sign up for fun in the sun at Camp Swoneky located off of Interstate 71 near Lebanon. Camping this summer will take place from June 29 – July 5 for ages 6 through 12. If a child has had a physical in the last 6 months, they are not required to have another one, but the doctor must complete the physical form. Camp Swoneky is available through the Salvation Army of Putnam County. The purpose of Salvation Army camping is to serve the physical, social and spiritual needs of campers. Camp Swoneky maintains 10 cabins for lodging campers in addition to two staff lodges, a recreation hall, a dining hall, craft lodge, nature center, and infirmary. The campers live in well-screened cabins with a maximum of 20 campers and three to four counselors per cabin. Each cabin is equipped with camper beds (including sheets and blankets), toilets, sinks and showers. All play areas for campers are supervised and include a swimming pool, a jumping pillow, Simon Zee Lake for boating and fishing, nature lodge, craft lodge, ropes course, tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball fields, volleyball courts, campfire amphitheater, children’s petting farm, hiking trails, and pony corral. Every effort is made to make the camp food well balanced, attractive and interesting. USDA inspections are held by the government to insure that food is nutritious and guidelines are followed. The camping programs are designed to take into consideration the desires, needs, imagination and skills of leaders and campers. Busy days are filled with: swimming, boating, hiking, crafts, ropes course, horseback riding, small animal farm, nature studies, recreation activities, campfire programs and devotional activities. Counselors and other members of the staff will supervise campers at all times. Counselors are selected young men and women who are interested and able to lead campers in a camp setting. Our Staff members are high school, college and international students as well as professional people, all working together to give the children a happy summer. Camp Swoneky is accredited by the American Camp Association and by the Christian Camp and Conference Association. Call the Putnam County Unit of the Salvation Army as soon as possible for brochures and to sign up by June 15. Call Sandi Racer or Beverly Carr at 419-523-6496 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

The Grove boys had a successful meet as they earned trips to the regional meet in 11 different events, which includes seven district champions and four district runners-up. “We knew we were favored in a lot of events and you are always a little worried that your kids may feel that pressure,” Grove coach Chris Grothaus said. “In some cases its harder in the districts than it is in regionals. We moved on in the events I thought we would and now we just have to take

Ft.

We’ve reached every goal we have wanted so far, but we have to get better.” Juniors Derek Rieman, Dakota Vogt and Jake Graham were double district champions for the Bulldogs at the meet. Rieman won the 110 high hurdles (15.2) and 300 intermediate hurdles (41.09), while Graham was part of the Bulldogs winning 3200 Relay team that included Dane Stechschulte, Alex Shafer and Colton Grothaus (8:43.64).

Lexington regionals next stop for Titans By Charlie Warnimont Sentinel Sports Editor FOSTORIA — At this stage of the track and field season it’s all about advancing to the next week. Ottawa-Glandorf’s track teams were able to survive stiff competition at the Division II district meet in Fostoria last week to advance to the regional meet in Lexington this week. The Titan girls are sending 10 girls to the regional meet in nine events, while the boys team is sending seven boys in five events. The Division II regional at Lexington gets underway Thursday at 4 p.m. with field events and the 3200 relay final at 4:30 p.m. The remaining field events get underway Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and the running finals are 12:30 p.m.

O-G’s young girls track team turned in another strong effort last week as they advanced girls in just over (9 of 17) half of the events. Their performances included one district championship and one runner-up showing in the District 2 section of the district. “We qualified ten girls in nine events to regionals,” O-G coach Vicki Doty said. “We had quite a few personal bests again and a few surprises, so we are real pleased to have that many girls going on and representing the school. The kids put forth a good effort as we were third overall and that was a good spot. We just did a tremendous job scoring 74.5 points. Even though we are only advancing in nine events we placed in 14 ➤➤See STOP/B7

The win sends Leipsic (24-3) to the Division IV regional at Patrick Henry Thursday as they will face Ottawa Hills at 2 p.m. A win there would move the Vikings into the regional finals on Friday at 5 p.m. Tinora and Gibsonburg play the second game Friday at 5 p.m. With a scoreless draw entering the bottom of the sixth, the Vikings used a leadoff single by senior Nate Schey to right field to get a base runner. Travis Schroeder sacrificed him to second base before junior Daniel DeLaRosa fouled out for the second out. Junior Austin Brown struck out on a pitch in the dirt that got away from St. John’s catcher Austin Reindel, far enough for Brown to reach first base. On the play, a hustling Schey scored from

second base for the lone tally of this pitchers duel. “It was a tough way to lose a game. We made one mistake today and they took advantage of it,” St. John’s coach Dan Metzger said. “We had opportunities to capitalize on earlier in the game, they made two errors, but failed to do so. They also took away what we do best, use our aggressiveness on the bases. They picked off our two best base-runners and those were big momentum plays.” Trevor Schroeder struck out the side in the St. John’s seventh to end the contest. The win for Leipsic ended a streak of two straight losses to St. John’s in the districts. “We were fortunate enough to win this game. There weren’t many opportunities to score and we ➤➤See SCHEY/B6

Schey hustles Leipsic to regionals

Titans fall to T-Birds in districts

O-G’s Hermiller to attend University of Findlay Ottawa-Glandorf senior Matt Hermiller (seated, left) signed a National Letter of Intent Monday to attend the University of Findlay to further his education and play golf. Hermiller was a four year letterman for the Titans and a district qualifier this past season. He will major in Criminal Justice. At the signing were his mother Chris and in the back row (from left) his father Rick and O-G golf coach Tom Von Sossan.

Miller City falls to St. John’s 5-4 By Charlie Warnimont Sentinel Sports Editor ELIDA — Against good teams in the tournament you don’t want to give them extra chances to beat you. That’s what happened Wednesday as Miller City and Delphos St. John’s squared off in the Division IV district semi-finals at Elida’s Ed Sandy Field. Miller City was unable to make the plays late to hold on to a lead as the Blue Jays rallied for a 5-4 win. The Blue Jays (19-6) advanced to the district finals with the win, while Miller City saw its season end at 15-11. Miller City took a 4-2 lead to the sixth inning before a costly error in that inning allowed the Blue Jays to tie the game before two errors in the seventh opened the door for St. John’s to win the game. “I don’t know if it was as much as them making plays, as us not making plays,” Miller City coach Dusty

Pester said. “They had a kid hit the ball hard that our centerfielder misplayed for a big play, then we start the seventh inning not making a play. That really hurt. Brent (Hermiller) battled all night long, but we didn’t make enough plays for him.” Miller City took the lead with four runs in the fifth inning that put them in front 4-2. It stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when the Blue Jays were able to take advantage of a three base error to tie the game. Tanner Cavelage opened the Jay seventh with a single to right and he scored as Curtis Geise reached on a three base error. Geise lined a shot to center that Miller City’s centerfielder had a beat on, but had the ball sail over his glove all the way to fence. A groundout by Troy Warnecke tied the game at 4-4. Austin Reindel followed with a double to left field, but Hermiller was able to work out of the jam as the

next batter fouled out to the Miller City catcher and a strikeout. The Wildcats threatened to regain the lead in the top of the seventh as Chandlar Shafer had a one out double down the left field line. He was stranded there as a groundout to first and a flyball to center ended the inning. In the bottom of the seventh, the Blue Jays were back in business as Ryan Buescher hit a groundball to second. The ball was bobbled by the Wildcat second baseman and when he gained control of it he threw it into the Wildcat dugout allowing Buescher to take second. A sacrifice bunt moved Buescher to third before Ryan Densel was hit by a pitch. Miller City came within an out of forcing extra innings as the next batter flew out to right field. Geise ended the game as he lined a pitch off the left field wall for a run scoring single.

and second and we would hit into double plays or things like that,” O-G coach Nick Miller said. “It was a tough all around day for us.” “If you are going win at the district level, you have to play very good defense,” LCC coach John Schneiders said. “We had them scouted pretty well. I moved Billy back a couple of steps before Schroeder’s at bat and he hit that laser right him. At the end of the day its going to come down to infield defense and when we play well defense is a key. In addition to our defense was being able to come up with some key base hits was big.” While LCC’s defense helped their pitcher out of trouble, the T-Birds were not only able to bang out nine hits in the contest, but took advantage of three O-G errors to help push runs across the plate. After two scoreless innings, the T-Birds took advantage of an O-G error to plate two runs. Corey O’Dowd opened the LCC third working a walk before Colin Stolly followed with a single. After a sacrifice moved the runners up a base, Connor Dee hit a groundball towards second base that scored O’Dowd. When the ball was misplayed it allowed Stolly to score as well. A strikeout and a fine diving catch by Cory Imm in center ended the inning. LCC added to its lead in the fourth inning with two more runs. Kian Duffy opened the inning by grounding a ball

between third and short. Schroeder was able to get to the ball deep in the hole at short. Duffy was able to beat the throw to first that was wild allowing him to take an extra base. Ben Stolly reached on a walk and both runners moved up a base on a sacrifice. A wild pitch allowed Duffy to race home with a run before Ben Stolly scored on a two out single by Colin Stolly. LCC pushed their lead to 6-0 in the fifth inning as Huffman scored on a double by Taflinger and he scored on a single by Duffy. “We preached all week that the team that made the plays would win the game,” Miller said. “We were pretty evenly matched, but we didn’t come out and make the plays defensively. That set the tone right there.” Ottawa-Glandorf broke through against Clark in the sixth inning with a run as Imm scored on a fielders choice groundball by Zender. Imm, Bockrath and Schroeder all walked with one out in the inning before Zender grounded out to third. The Titans finished the game with just three hits. “It was a tough day all around for us,” Miller said. “We came in thinking he was going to throw a lot of breaking stuff, and offspeed, which he did. He just kept us off-balance all day. He did a nice job.” *** Central Catholic 002 220 0 - 8 9 0 Ottawa-Glandorf 000 001 0 - 1 3 3 WP-Clark (7-1). LP-Warnecke (3-6).

By Charlie Warnimont Sentinel Sports Editor LIMA — Lima Central Catholic starting pitcher Travis Clark didn’t have his best stuff Thursday as he faced Ottawa-Glandorf in the Division III district semi-finals. What Clark was able to take advantage of was defense. The T-Bird defense turned three double plays behind him and LCC was able to come through with clutch hits on their way to an 8-1 win over the Titans at the University of Northwestern Ohio. LCC (18-8) advanced to the district finals against Coldwater with the win, while O-G saw its season come to a close at 15-9. Ottawa-Glandorf had chances to break through against Clark throughout the contest as they had base runners in five of the seven innings. However, they were unable to come up with a clutch hit and when they did hit something sharp the T-Bird defense denied them with a pair of inning ending double plays and one that resulted in two quick outs in an inning another time. The first setback for the Titans came in the first inning as the Titans had runners at first and second, with one out, after Cody Bockrath singled to right and Casey Schroeder walked. With Tyler Zender at the plate, Clark was able to strike him out and get out of the inning when Bockrath was tagged out after over sliding third base on a steal attempt. The fourth inning was the same as Bockrath singled to start the frame, but was doubled off first when LCC third baseman Billy Taflinger snared a line drive off the bat off Schroeder, then threw to first to get Bockrath. LCC ended the O-G fifth with a double play as Taflinger scooped up a groundball to third base, then fired to first to get the final out. “We had some situations where we had guys on first

Bulldogs fall to Parkway Panthers

Softball ➤➤From B1 “That third inning is the way things have been going for us,” Archbold coach Joe Frank said. “Give them credit, they made plays and their pitcher threw well to start the game. Our girls do have a lot of confidence and we got it rolling in that third inning. Once we got it going, things seemed to be a little more relaxed for us. I thought we were a little uptight to start the game.” Archbold’s third inning success in the third inning carried over into the fourth inning as they added three runs to their lead. Mindy Rupp dropped a single into right field to open the Blue Streak fourth and Cassidy Williams reached on an error that allowed Rupp to take third. After Williams stole second base, Beck grounded out to first base for the first out of the inning. Becca Gerig walked to load the bases before Goebel reached on a fielders choice as O-G went for the out at home, but the throw was late allowing the run to score. A flyball to left had O-G within one out of escaping further damage, but Allison ruined those plans as she lined a single to left-center that allowed two more runs to score putting Archbold up 7-0. The seven runs were more than enough for Allison in the circle. The Blue Streak

junior allowed just one Titan base runner through four innings, that being Kelley Selhorst in the third inning as she reached on an infield single. In the fifth, O-G put pressure on the Blue Streak pitcher as Molly Closson, infield, and Tasha Cass, left field, reached on singles. The Titans came up empty though as two groundballs were turned into fielder choice outs before a groundball to short ended the threat. “Hanna threw very well,” Frank said. “She was really in command, she had good control, especially early. We played well defensively. We went through the district tournament without committing an error.” “They are a good team and when they found the cracks they put some runs up,” O-G coach Troy Yant said. “We knew Archbold was going to put the ball in play and score runs. We hoped to get some runs the first couple of innings and give ourselves the confidence we could hand with them. We hit the ball hard the first two innings and unfortunately there was no gaps in their defense. We tried every place we could. They have an excellent infield and they made the plays.” Archbold scored their final two runs in the sixth inning as Wyse had an RBI double and Morgan Cody a two out RBI single.

Although Allison had escaped trouble in the fourth and fifth innings, she could not avoid it in the sixth inning as the Titans pushed across three runs. With two outs in the O-G sixth, Michelle Sdao lined a double to left-center before Megan Kitchen and Closson walked to load the bases. A double to left-center by Tasha Cass cleared the bases making it a 9-3 game. A strikeout ended the inning and the Titans could only manage a seventh inning single in an effort to rally one more time. “I was very proud of our girls to hang in there, hang in there before we got the three runs in the sixth to give us at-least a window of a chance,” Yant said. “I thought Megan did a good job coming in. We are young. After the three seniors leave, I think was an important game for the younger girls to try and get over the hump and know we can play with a team like Archbold.” Hayley Kitchen (10-5) took the loss for O-G as she went four innings allowing seven runs on five hits. *** Archbold 004 302 0 - 9 9 0 Ottawa-Glandorf 000 003 0 - 3 6 4 WP-Allison.

CHARLIE’S SPECIAL OF THE WEEK Christmas mite be a ways away...

singled with two outs to help her cause, and second baseman Lindsey Walls followed with an infield single. First baseman Kylie Snyder then plated both runners with a two-run double to give the Lady Panthers a 2-1 lead. Snyder advanced to third on a passed ball, and scored when third baseman Peyton Heitkamp reached on an infield single. The Parkway rally gave them a 3-1 lead after one complete. The Lady Bulldogs struck for a run in the second and third innings to tie the game. In the second inning, left fielder Micah Stechschulte reached on error and scored on an RBI double by pitcher Bobbi Heckel. The third-inning run came when Schroeder walked and scored on an RBI double off the bat of Scott to tie the game at three. Parkway plated the eventual winning run in the fourth. Kayla Walls led the inning off with a triple and scored on the Smith fielder’s choice. “Kayla has really turned it on the last couple of weeks. She’s been one of our best hitters. You think about moving her up in the order, but it’s kind of nice having her in that nine-spot to roll into the top of the order,” said Parkway coach Mark Esselstein of his right fielder. The Lady Panthers added three insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth. Pinch hitter Kayle Heckler walked to open the frame before Kayla Walls sacrifice bunted her to second. Smith scored Heckler when she reached on error, and scored, herself, on an RBI double off the bat of Taylor Walls. Finally, Fent doubled to bring Taylor Walls home and run the score to 7-3. Grove had one last chance in the top of the seventh, and Schroeder opened the inning by drawing a walk

which marked the exit of Fent from the circle. Steinbrunner entered in relief, and recorded three straight outs - two of which strikeouts to seal the win for the Lady Panthers. Esselstein said entering Steinbrunner was to change things up on the Lady Bulldogs in the final frame. “Sierra struggled finding her spots, threw a lot of pitches, and we’ve got confidence in Morgan to come in and do the job. She gives us a different look than Sierra does. We’ve got a lot of confidence in (Morgan), she came in, did the job, and shut them down.” Fent picked up the win for Parkway. She went six innings, allowing three runs, one earned, on nine hits. She walked three and struck out seven. Heckel was tagged for the loss. She went six innings, allowing seven earned runs on 10 hits. She walked two and struck out two. Schroeder was proud of his pitcher despite the loss. “(Bobbi) did a great job in the circle tonight. She’s battled a back injury all year and, she’s kind of starting to find herself right now. She’s really locating her fastball now and she can get her changeup across when she needs to. She did an exceptional job tonight. They just put the ball in play and hit the ball hard a few more times than we did.” Kayla Walls led the Lady Panthers at the plate. She went 2-2 with a double, a triple and a run scored. Fent was 3-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI, and Snyder added a pair of RBIs. Schroeder was 2-2 for the Lady Bulldogs, with a run scored. Heckel added a double and an RBI. ***

to left-center by junior Logan Haselman and an out later, after he was forced at second by a ground ball by junior Devin Mangas, Trevor Schroeder walked before both runners were stranded. Geise got the Jays’ first hit to start the fourth, but he was also picked off by Travis Schroeder. Travis Schroeder was again plunked with one down in the home half of the fourth and stole second after a strikeout. However, the Vikings were unable to come up with a hit to score him. Senior Jordan Bergfeld walked with one down in the St. John’s fifth. With two down, senior Cody Kundert beat out an infield hit to short and senior Ryan Densel bunted his way aboard to load the bases. However, they were left stranded. Leipsic again got a pair on in the bottom of the fifth with two down on back-toback free passes to Mangas and Trevor Schroeder. How-

ever, they were stranded. Trevor Schroeder came on in relief in the St. John’s sixth and set down the six batters he faced. “Curtis was a warrior today. He really moved his pitches around, up and down, and changed speeds,” Metzger added. “He really showed his baseball smarts today. Their pitchers both did the same thing. You knew runs were going to be at a premium today with three great pitchers on their game.” Henry echoed the same sentiments. “Their pitcher did a great job of taking a little something off his fast ball to keep us off-balance,” Henry added. “So did Travis and Trevor. We preach pitching and defense and generally did both. I actually wasn’t going to start Travis today after he started Wednesday but after practice yesterday and during warmups today, he convinced me he was ready to go.” Plus, I had Trevor ready

We were close both times.” Senior Tanner Calvelage got aboard on an error to lead off the Blue Jay (19-7) first. Travis Schroeder made sure he would not steal, throwing over six times. The seventh time, he caught Calvelage leaning and picked him off. Travis Schroeder was plunked with one down in the Viking second and advanced on a passed ball, with Reindel suffering an apparent injury. However, he stayed in the game and Geise got the next two batters. In the Blue Jay third, junior Ryan Buescher got aboard via a throwing error. However, a fly ball, a foulout and a pop-up kept him there. Leipsic had the first real threat, getting a leadoff liner

Ottawa-Glandorf’s Tasha Cass connects for a three run double during the Titans Division III district softball final against Archbold Saturday.

By Brian Bassett DHI Correspondent ELIDA — After the Columbus Grove and Parkway softball teams battled to a 3-3 tie through three innings of Wednesday’s district semi-final at Elida Middle School, the Lady Panthers scratched out a run in the fourth and three more in the sixth to hold off the Lady Bulldogs 7-3. The tide turned in the home half of the fourth, when Parkway right fielder Kayla Walls opened the frame with a triple, and scored on a fielder’s choice off the bat of left fielder Olivia Smith. The run gave Parkway a 4-3 lead, which they would hold throughout the remainder, mainly thanks to stellar pitching from starter Sierra Fent and reliever Morgan Steinbrunner. The Lady Bulldogs (1711) were able to reach all evening on Fent, but could only score the three runs while leaving 10 base runners stranded. “We were able to get some runners on and move them into scoring position, but we just weren’t able to get the timely hit. Hats off to them, they had great pitching and great defense behind it. They’re not going to give you many runs, you have to earn them. We just didn’t earn enough of them tonight,” Columbus Grove coach Brian Schroeder said. The Lady Bulldogs struck first in the top of the first. Second baseman Cece Utendorf reached on a oneout single, and advanced to second on a fielder’s choice and third on a single by third baseman Hope Schroeder. Utendorf then scored when shortstop Katelyn Scott reached on error. The run gave Grove a brief 1-0 lead. Parkway answered in the home half of the first, with three runs of their own. Fent

Twin sister Annie Schram advanced to regionals as she finished third in the discus (105-4). In the high jump, senior Riley Eversole advanced as she finished third having cleared 5-1. Grove’s 800 Relay team of Brooke Brubaker, Sydney McCluer, Eversole and Sarah Schroeder finished fourth in 1:49.24, while the 400 Relay team of Schroeder, Nicole Langhals, Jessi Smith and Brubaker were fourth in 52.56. Senior dis-

tance runner Amber Herron advanced in the 3200 meter run as she finished fourth in 12:48.79. This will be Herron’s first trip to the regional meet. “I was real pleased with our throwers,” Grove coach Tim Staley said. “Annie Schramm was second in the discus and her twin sister Danielle made it out in the shot with her best throw of the year. Our 800 relay team was sitting sixth after the prelims and finished fourth today, so I was happy with that and our 400 relay team was seeded fourth and finished fourth. Amber Herron is a senior and had never made it to regionals and she finished fourth. Riley Eversole made it out in the high jump and Cassie Stechschulte just missed in that event.” Pandora-Gilboa had a girls district champion as senior Ellie Braidic won the pole vault competition. Braidic, a three state qualifier in the pole vault and state champion in 2010, won the

pole vault as she cleared 1211. Sophomore teammate Vanessa McCullough qualified in two events to regionals as she finished second in the 1600 (5:39.29) and was third in the 3200 (12:44.49).

➤➤From B1 events so that is pretty good. I am really pleased. The kids have exceeded expectations from the beginning of the season.” Four of the events O-G advanced in were relays as the Titans claimed a district championship in the 400 relay and were second in the 800 relay. They also had a third and fourth place showing in the other two relays. O-G won a district title in the 400 Relay with the team of Michelle Maag, Torie Allgire, Whitney Warnecke and Madison Stechschulte. Their winning time was 50.67, nearly a full second in front of second place Celina. Maag, Amanda Schuller, Elissa Ellerbrock and Stechschulte were second in the 800 Relay in 1:46.72. O-G’s 1600 Relay team of Schuller, Anna Bellman, Brooke Zynda and Elissa Ellerbrock were third in 4:09.24 and the 3200 Relay team of

Zynda, Kialee Koch, Kelsey Hoehn and Ellerbrock were fourth in 10:09.0. Maag qualified in the 100 dash as she finished third in 13.17, while Schuller was third in the 400 (1:01.60). Ellerbrock was third in the 800 (2:23.82) and Zynda was right behind her in fourth (2:25.06). “Amanda Schuller has done a really nice job the last couple of weeks,” Doty said. “Her times are coming down and her smile is just as big as can be. She has continued to improve The relays all brought their times down. To win the 400 Relay, we knew we would be in the hunt, but to win and to win it handily was something. To have all the relays place is just an all out good team effort. To have this many kids going on, we have three seniors and seven kids that are underclassmen, so that is a good experience for them down the road.” Bellman qualified to re-

gionals in the discus with a personal best effort of 1209. The distance topped her previous mark by nearly 14 feet from the Western Buckeye League meet the week before. Allgire picked up a regional spot in the pole vault as she finished third clearing 9-8. “Anna had a real good day in the discus beating her previous personal best by 14 feet,” Doty said. “She is the only freshman in the regional discus field so this is quite an accomplishment.” The Lady Titans finished third in the District 2 section of the meet with 74.5 points. On the boys side, four of the five events that are advancing for the Titans are running events as Jacob Leopold qualified to regionals in three events for the Titans, while Russ Ellerbrock and Matias Trampe-Kindt were double qualifiers. Trampe-Kindt continues to run well in the 1600 as he was just off the O-G

school record for the second straight meet. TrampeKindt finished fourth in the 1600 with a time of 4:33.0, which is just off the school record of 4:30.2 set in 1981 by Jeff Duling. Trampe-Kindt opened the district meet by joining Russ Ellerbrock, Wayne Erford and Jacob Leopold to finish fourth in 8:16.48. The group took nine seconds off their previous best time for the season from their effort at the WBL meet. “I was a little concerned with Matias strategy early on, but obviously he knew what he wanted to do,” O-G coach Rick Hughes said. “He knew what he was doing as he ran the last two laps hard. He is getting a feel with who to run with and to just miss the school record two straight weeks is something. The guys in the 4x8 they have really impressed me with what they have done as they continue to cut their time down. All

other boys didn’t, so congratulations to him. Early in the season he had a lot of things going on outside of track (school musical, show choir, etc), but once they were over he was able to put in more practice time and he has continued to get better.” As a team, the Titans finished ninth with 39.5 points in the 18 team field. ***

By Charlie Warnimont Sentinel Sports Editor ELIDA — It’s the little things that can often turn the complexion of a baseball game. As Leipsic and Allen East were involved in a scoreless game, the Mustangs had an early scoring chance with a runner at third base and one out. A heads up play by Viking third baseman Trevor Schroeder prevented a run from scoring and when Leipsic came up three runs in the bottom of the inning, momentum was all Leipsic’s as they went on to post an 8-2 win in the Division IV district semi-finals at Ed Sandy Field. The win moved the Vikings 23-3 to the district finals opposite Delphos St. John’s. Allen East saw its season end at 14-11. Both teams had an early scoring chance before the

Mustangs’ Tyler Wilson reached third base in the third inning after a walk, steal and passed ball. Junior Derek Ketchum laid down a bunt that Leipsic’s Trevor Schroeder fielded. Schroeder picked up the ball, faked a throw to first, then turned to tag out Ketchum, who was heading home on the throw to first. Although Tyler Stevens followed with a single to left, the Mustangs were unable to score as a flyball to center ended the inning. “That could have been a little bit of a momentum turner,” Leipsic coach Darren Henry said. “We saw that in their last tournament game. Our third baseman wasn’t going to throw as it was a pretty good bunt. Maybe it took some wind out of their sail and maybe that helped us out a little bit that next inning. We saw that last week and Trevor remembered it.”

four boys are really good competitors and it will be interesting to see how much farther they can lower their time. They are really running well right now. Jacob came out and ran a two flat in the 800 and he knows who to run with and every time he runs that race he just gets better.” Leopold advanced in the 800 as he finished third in 2:00.9. Leopold also helped the 1600 relay team advance as they finished fourth in 3:28.80. Members of that team were Nate Toumazes, Russ Ellerbrock, Mark VonderEmbse and Leopold. “Our 4x4 team has been running well as they continue to take time off their previous best,” Hughes said. “I think we are competitive in the 4x8 and 4x4 and it will be interesting to see how they will do when they get there.” One of the surprises for the Titans was the performance of senior Mathias Klausing in the pole vault. Klausing finished tied for second in the event as he cleared 13-4. “Mathias was a big surprise in the pole vault,” Hughes added. “He was able to keep his composure and vault 13-4. Looking at the entries I’m not sure he should have finished second, but that’s what happens at the district. He held his composure while the

do before regionals,” Grothaus cautioned. “We need to clean up our handoffs in the relay and just basically work on technique in the field events. Other than that we just need to get fresh and healthy. We are done conditioning, we just need to work on getting our techniques done in all the field events we have competing to give us the chance to move on. The big stage is next week and the biggest stage is the following week.” With their showing at the districts, the Bulldogs won the District 1 championship scoring 130.5 points. Continental finished sixth with 44 points. Continental qualified to regionals in five events as Adam Lawhorn finished second in the high jump clearing 6-0. Dalton Bradford was a three event qualifier for the Pirates as he finished fourth in the 200 (23.64) and is part of two relay teams. The Pirates 800

and that gave us some trouble.” Leipsic broke the game open in the fourth inning with four runs. The Vikings loaded the bases on walks to Austin Brown and Nate Mangas that ended Crow’s day on the mound. As Stevens took over on the mound, Brady Schroeder reached on an infield single that loaded the bases before Mangas walked to force in a run. After an out, Ty Maag ignited the Viking crowd with a three run triple to the gap in right-center. A popup to third base and a flyball to left ended the inning. Leipsic finished their scoring in the sixth as Brady Schroeder was hit by a pitch and moved up two groundballs. Maag plated the run with a double to deep left. Allen East scored a pair of two out runs in the seventh

➤➤From B1 for the Big Green as she finished second in 47.51. Tonya Kaufman advanced in the high jump Thursday as she finished fourth having cleared 5-0. Three different jumpers cleared 5-0 at the meet before missing at 5-2. Mangas finished fourth based on fewer misses at lower heights. Rue, a senior, qualified to regionals in three field events for the Big Green. Rue finished third in the high jump clearing 6-2 and he was third in the shot put with a throw of 49-1 1/2. Rue finished fourth in the discus competition Saturday with a top throw of 142-8. Ottoville’s girls team finished fifth in the team standings with 46 points and Fort Jennings was seventh with 38 points. Minster won the team title with 119 points.

After the play at third, Leipsic was able to mount a rally in the bottom of the inning as they scored three times. Brady Schroeder opened the Leipsic third with a single to left and he took second when Allen East’s left fielder overran the ball. A double to deep left scored Devin Mangas before the next two batters were retired on popups. Nate Schey followed with a triple down the left field line and he scored on a Travis Schroeder single. “We tried to tell them to pick up the ball, not worry about the high leg kick,” Henry said. “That’s hard to get used to. You don’t see that kind of leg kick all the time so its hard to get used to. I thought he (Crow) threw the ball real well the first few innings. He threw hard with some movement

Ohio hunters harvest more than 17,000 turkeys during springNEWSPAPER huntREPRODUCTION NOTE:

COLUMBUS — Hunters checked 17,647 wild turkeys during Ohio’s fourweek statewide spring turkey hunting season that ended May 20, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The preliminary total represents a three percent decrease over last year’s harvest number of 18,162. Ashtabula County again led the state in the number of turkeys killed with 762. Counties with additional high harvest numbers were: Ashtabula-762, Tuscarawas-531, Guernsey-495, Coshocton-492, Musk-

ingum-486, Belmont-456, Knox-451, Harrison-450, Trumbull-428 and Adams-420. The Division of Wildlife estimates that more than 70,000 people hunted turkeys during the season. Prior to the start of the spring hunting season, state wildlife biologists estimated the wild turkey population in Ohio to be more than 180,000 birds. Wild turkeys were nearly eliminated in Ohio before beingOfferreintroduced in the Valid 3/1/12 to 4/30/12 mid-1950s by the Division of Wildlife. The first spring turkey hunting season opened in 1966.

commuters to observe national “Bike to Work Week,” turning their daily journey to work into an opportunity for fun and exercise. But, as this week’s observance concludes, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) reminds everyone about the importance of safely sharing the roadways. “Everyone has the right to use Ohio’s roads,” said ODOT director Jerry Wray. “Whether driving or biking, safety is everyone’s responsibility.” There is growing evidence to suggest more people are choosing to travel by bike. Nationally, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey reported the number of American workers using a bicycle as their primary mode of transportation to work increased by nearly 40 percent since 2000. Though such commuters are still a minority, it means that motorists and bikers are sharing the road more frequently. Statistically, the fault for collisions between bicyclists and motor vehicles is equal between both kinds of travelers. That’s why both must do all they can to avoid crashes. ODOT wants automobile drivers and bicyclists to stay alert, share the road, and give each other three feet of space whenever possible. Bicyclists need to obey all rules of the road, ride in a predictable manner, and wear bright clothing and use proper lighting so they can be seen when visibility is poor. Both drivers and bikers should anticipate how others on the roadway will react, and always keep their cool: road rage helps no one.

Science Unveils New Aloe Cure for Stomach and Digestion Problems ®

Doctors report new aloe-vera “cocktail” delivers instant relief to people who suffer from bouts of heartburn, acid-reﬂux, constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and other stomach nightmares... By Damian Wexler, Freelance health reporter Photo by Monica Gerdeman

Motorcycle Safety Awareness month encourages drivers to watch out for others PUTNAM COUNTY — Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month is a national initiative designed to encourage drivers of all other kinds of vehicles and motorcyclists to “share the road” with each other. Now that warmer weather is right around the corner in most of the country, motorcyclists will soon be out in force. Drivers of cars, trucks and buses are reminded to look out for and share the road with motorcycle riders, and motorcycle riders are reminded to obey traffic laws, wear DOT-compliant helmets and other protective gear, and make themselves visible by wearing bright colors and using reflective tape. Increasing safe riding and cooperation between all road users and motorcyclists will help to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on our nation’s highways. Share the road model language NHTSA has developed model “Share the Road” language by reviewing material used by motorcycle safety agencies and national organizations that have a vested interest in increasing motorcycle safety. NHTSA identified common themes and language from this material, which effectively conveys the importance of sharing the road safely with motorcyclists. NHTSA encourages local, state, and national organizations to use this model “Share the Road” language in their driver awareness programs: Road users are reminded to never drive, bike, or walk while distracted. Doing so can result in tragic consequences for motorcyclists. A motorcycle has the same rights and privileges as any other vehicle on the roadway. Allow a motorcyclist a full lane width. Although it may seem that there is enough room in the traffic lane for a motor vehicle and a motorcycle, the motorcycle needs the room to maneuver safely. Do not share the lane. Because motorcycles are small, they can be difficult for other road users to see them, or judge their speed and distance as they approach. Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic. This allows motorcyclists to anticipate traffic flow and find a safe lane position. Because of its smaller size, a motorcyclist can be hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot. Always check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections. Don’t be fooled by a flashing turn signal on a motorcycle – motorcycle signals may not be self-canceling and motorcyclists sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the rider is going to turn before you proceed. Remember that road conditions that are minor annoyances to motorists can pose major hazards to motorcyclists. Motorcycle riders may change speed or adjust position within a lane suddenly in reaction to road and traffic conditions such as potholes, gravel, wet or slippery surfaces, pavement seams, railroad crossings, and grooved pavement. Allow more following distance -- three or four seconds – when following a motorcycle so the motorcycle rider has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars.

Shared Respect Among All Road Users Can Save Motorcyclists’ Lives Motorcyclist fatalities increased slightly in 2010 to 4,502 accounting for 14 percent of total fatalities for the year. This increase in motorcycle fatalities for the year picks up the overall increasing trend over the last 13 years that saw a one-year decline in 2009 when 4,469 motorcyclists were killed. However, the greatest decrease in the estimated number of injured people is among motorcyclists, with an 8.9 percent decrease. With respect to motorcyclist fatalities, fatalities among motorcyclists 50 and older increased by 119, whereas fatalities among motorcyclists under 50 declined by 84. Per vehicle mile traveled (VMT) in 2009, motorcyclists were 25 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and 5 times more likely to be injured. In 2010, 42 percent of fatally injured motorcycle riders and 51 percent of fatally injured motorcycle passengers were not wearing helmets at the time of the crash. Alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities (fatalities in crashes involving a driver or motorcycle rider (operator) with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or greater) declined by 4.9 percent in 2010 accounting for 31 percent of overall fatalities. In fatal crashes in 2010, a higher percentage of motorcycle riders had blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) of .08 grams per deciliter (g/ dL) or higher than any other type of motor vehicle driver. The percentages for operators involved in fatal crashes were 28 percent for motorcycles, 23 percent for passenger cars, 22 percent for light trucks, and 2 percent for large trucks. Forty-two percent of the 1,921 motorcycle riders who died in single-vehicle crashes in 2010 had BAC levels of .08 g/dL or higher. Sixty-five percent of those killed in single vehicle crashes on weekend nights had BACs of .08 g/dL or higher. In 2010, more than one-fifth of motorcycle riders (22 percent) involved in fatal crashes were riding with invalid licenses at the time of the collision. NHTSA estimates that helmets saved the lives of 1,483 motorcyclists in 2009. If all motorcyclists had worn helmets, an additional 732 lives could have been saved. The economic cost savings due to helmet use was approximately $2.9 billion in 2008, and an additional $1.3 billion could have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets. According to the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), the use of DOT-compliant helmets decreased to 54 percent in 2010, from 67 percent in 2009. Use of helmets that do not comply with the DOT standard increased dramatically from 9 percent in 2009 to 14 percent in 2010. Over the past decade, the age group with the largest increase in motorcyclist fatalities (from 1,261 in 2001 to 2,523 in 2010) was the 40-and-older age group. During this same time period, riders of the largest motorcycles (those with engine size 1,000 cc and above) saw the largest increase in fatalities.

“Motorcyclist fatalities increased slightly in 2010 to 4,502 accounting for 14 percent of total fatalities for the year. “

I want to thank my sister, Doris Rayman, for having the open house for my 87th Birthday. I also appreciated all my relatives and friends who stopped by with their best wishes. It was really great seeing so many of you who I have not seen for a long time. Thanks to all of you for coming, sending cards and making my day special. Sincerely, Evelyn Burman The family of Mary Hartman would like to express our sincere appreciation for the many acts of kindness over the last several years, especially the last several months. The flowers, food, memorials, support and kindness were greatly valued. Special thanks goes to the Meadows of Leipsic, Home Health and Hospice and Dr. Anna Horstman for the excellent care Mom received. Thanks also go to Rev. George Zornow and Love Heitmeyer Funeral Home for helping to make Mom's funeral services special. The support and kindness of friends and family was greatly appreicated. Kathy, Terry Schroeder and Family Mark and Christy Hartman

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin (Never known to fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (three times). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (three times). Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I want, in this short prayer, to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine.

PROBATE COURT OF PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO MICHAEL A. BORER, JUDGE ADOPTION OF CORBIN MATTHEW GARBERSON CASE NO. 20125005 NOTICE OF HEARING ON PETITION FOR ADOPTION To: Juan Villanueva, Address Unknown You are hereby notified that on the 27th day of March, 2012, Adam Michael Garberson filed in this Court a Petition For Adoption of Corbin Matthew Villanueva, a minor, whose date of birth is 07/11/2007, and for change of the name of the minor to Corbin Matthew Garberson. This Court, located at 245 E. Main St., Suite 204, Ottawa, Ohio, will hear the petition on the 4th day of June, 2012, at 2:00 o’clock P.M. It is alleged in the petition, pursuant to R.C. 3107.07, that the consent of Juan Villanueva is not required due to the following: That person is a parent who has failed without justifiable cause to provide more than de minimis contact with the minor for a period of at least one year immediately preceding the filing of the adoption petition or the placement of the minor in the home of the petitioner. That person is a parent who has failed without justifiable cause to provide for the maintenance and support of the minor as required by law or judicial decree for a period of at least one year immediately preceding the filing of the adoption petition or the placement of the minor in the home of the petitioner. Final Hearing on Petition for Adoption will be held on July 9, 2012, at 11:00 A.M. “A final decree of adoption, if granted, will relieve you of all parental rights and responsibilities, including the right to contact the minor, and, except with respect to a spouse of the adoption petitioner and relatives of that spouse, terminate all legal relationships between the minor and you and the minor’s other relatives, so that the minor thereafter is a stranger to you and the minor’s former relatives for all purposes. If you wish to contest the adoption, you must file an objection to the petition within fourteen days after proof of service of notice of the filing of the petition and of the time and place of hearing is given to you. If you wish to contest the adoption, you must also appear at the hearing. A final decree of adoption may be entered if you fail to file an objection to the adoption petition or appear at the hearing.” Michael A. Borer, Probate Judge April 18, 25 May 2, 9, 16, 23, 2012 00036415 Dawn R. Maag, Deputy Clerk
